PROPOSED "coMeINE."

Tho Plan to Bring Together New York's
Senator-Elect and the Politician from
Maine.
The project to bring Senator-elect
Hiscock and Mr.. Blaine together at the
reception to the Legislature by the Fort
Orange Club, which takes place next
month, is a most sagacious move on
the part of the new ''bosses" of the
Republican party in this State, Hon.
Thomas c. Platt and Hon. j. j. Bel
den. It will emphasize more COM
pletely the victory of the combine"
by the presence of the chief "boss" of
the party at reception in which the
handsome statesman from Syracuse is
expected to be the central figure.
There will be an excellent opportunity
for the gentleman from Maine to
cultivate the acquaintance of the dis
tinguished members of the Combine"
who now control the destinies of New
York Republicanism, and who received
such valuable encouragement from him
during the recent contest. In the love
feast which is likely to characterize
the meeting of those shining lights
of the party many old sores may
be healed up and assurances of
distinguished consideration, etc.,
exchanged. There could not be a
more favorable occasion for Mr..
Blaine to give an exposition of his
views and unbosom himself to the new
| machine in one of his inimitable mag
netic speeches. And should he find,
next morning, in cold type, any un-
fortunate slips of the tongue, he will
| be spared the unpleasant trouble, as in
other places, of denying his own words.
1t may be that his severe Senatorial
duties would prevent Hon. Warner
Miller from joining the love feast, OF.
perhaps, his well-known antipathy to
any thing of the combine order
would keep him away from the punch
in question. The same cause may de-
ter the genial Speaker of the Assem-
bly, from participating in the reunion,
although he would find it hard to be
away from his .tfdus Achates, Mr.. En-
win, who has solemnly assured him
that he is a "good man." But, with
! the persuasions of Hon. Henry G. Bur
leigh and Hon. George West, the re-
luctance of the Herkimer statesman
and the Peekskill Macchiavelli might
be easily overcome. We assure Mr..
Blame and Mr. Hiscock of hospitable
reception and warm greeting, with the
freedom of the city to boot. By all
means let them come and they will
not soon forget what gay place AL.
bany is in winter time. Mr.. Blaine
will learn more of New York politics
in one day here than he would in a
year at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.-Ak

PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY.

Significant Correspondents Which Tells
tho Story Of Their True Relations.
The correspondence between the
President and Secretary of the Treas
ury contained in the press dispatches
from Washington this morning, dis
poses at stroke of a great volume of
gossip and rumor concerning the per-
sonal and official relations of Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Manning which has
gained currency during the past few
weeks. In rendering his resignation,
for the second time, and in insisting
upon its acceptance, the Secretary de-
clares, very explicitly, that his with
drawal from the Cabinet is due solely to
the impaired condition of his health,
which renders him unequal to the .'ex-
hausting round of administrative
tasks" which devolve upon the head of
the Treasury Department. 1t is evident
from the general tone of the letter, and
especially from the hearty expressions
of continued confidence and esteem
contained in the closing paragraph,
that Mr.. Manning is, and has been
from the beginning, in cordial sympa-
thy not only with the financial policy of
the Administration, but with the meth
DDS and principles which it has applied
in all the affairs of the Government.
The Presidents reply expresses his
sincere regret at Mr.. Manning's re-
tirement, and testifies very cordially
and frankly to the value of the Secre-
tary's service and the popular appre-
citation of his achievements and sue
cess. The President accepts the resig-
nation with unfeigned reluctance, to
take effect April 1, and in conclusion
ventures the "earnest hope" that in
his new field of labor there may be al
lowed to him ''moro of comfort and
of ease than a conscientious discharge
of duty here permits" There is just a
touch of pathos in these closing words,
coming as they evidently do straight
from the heart, and suggesting GER
tain weariness and disgust on the part
of the President with the trials, respon-
sibilities and perplexities of his lofty
station. To the man who, more than
any other, has shared these burdens,
augmented, as they have been, by the
unjust suspicious, the harsh criticisms,
the persistent misconstruction of mo-
tives and the systematic annoyances and
prosecutions of professed political
friends and supporters, these words
will appeal with special force. No one
SO well as Daniel Manning can grasp
their deep and pregnant meaning, or
appreciate SO fully the difficulties, anx-
ieties and embarrassments that called
them forth.-Chicdgo Times.

MAS LINCOLN "HoNoREp. ..

How Republican Politicians Garry Out
His Watchword " With Malice Toward
None, with Charity for AL"
It has long been the custom of DEM
ocrats to meet on Jackson's Day, the
anniversary of Old Hickory's great
victory over the British at New Orleans,
and renew their pledges to the prin-
ciples which he clung to during q long
career. They also commemorate JEFF
ferson's birth, and in toasts and ora
tions recall some of the more con-
spicuous teachings of that celebrated
patriot and statesman. At these Dem.
ocratic gatherings it is the practice to
applaud the wisdom of the Democracy's
patron saints and to revive recol-
lections of their doctrines and theories
rather than to attack present opponents
or to belittle other names now held
dear by the majority of Americans.
In the first important attempt by
Republicans to introduce this custom
in their own party happy selection
was made in the choice of the man
whose memory it was desired to honor,
but in the scope and character of the
exercises the pitch was altogether too
low to be particularly edifying to any
body. Dying before the Republican
party as it exists to-day was evolved
from the war party, Abraham Lincoln
was character which the present
leaders of that organization might
well study on every suitable occasion.
That his temper, habits of thought,
lofty patriotism, humanity and broad
nationalism do not at present actuate
the Republican leaders, is, perhaps,
due to the fact that they are more
closely interested in the promulgation
of unwise and unjust policies relative
to business and to the perpetuaion of
sectional animosities than they are in
the contemplation of one of the most
picturesque figures in American his
tory. Meeting together on the ami
versary of Lincoln's birth, modern
Republicans might, if they would, draw
much inspiration from his life and
character. but they must approach the
subject in a different frame of mind
from that which seems to have been
uppermost at the New York gathering.
The speeches at Delmonico's were
not indicative either of q profound ap-
probation of or veneration for Lin
coins character. They were primer
pally vehement, bitter and foolish de-
nunciations of somebody else. It is
not in this spirit that professed follow
ers of the Emancipation can honor his
memory or keep bright the great les
son of his life. With malice toward
none and with charity for all, he
was in the broadest sense an American,
not a-sectionalist. He can be honored
as an American as jefferson and Jack
son are honored, without dragging into
his eulogy the petty examinations of the
present day. Perhaps when the New
York Republican Club has had little
more experience it win be better
